essay C

Diamond's theory of geographic luck was a good theory. It involves location and what happened while people were at that place. Diamond describes many things to answer that one guy's question but it all tied up to this Geograpahic luck. 
     He said that Paupa New Guinea was far behind because they were not blessed like some places like the fertile cresecnt. The fertile cresent had wheat, barely, and tarrow root. They also had domesticated animals. The food their was highly nutrious which helped them grow in farming. While Paupa New guinea only had one domesticated animal, sago, bananas, and other food that was high in sugar and fat and not high in protein. The fertile cresecnt had it all while New Guinea had very little. Thats why they are kind of far and behind the 21 century. 
Jared Diamond theory helped answer the question to that guy. It wasn't Paupa's fault that they had so little, white men aren't better then they are we're all the same they just got bad geogrpahic luck and they couldn't do very much about it.
